An established investment business backing South African SMEs needs a hands-on finance professional to cover its Financial Manager's maternity leave.

• Keeping reconciliations and controls tight, and supporting a finance assistant
• Working in Sage Intacct

What we're looking for

• A qualified CA(SA)
• Proven experience delivering year-ends, consolidations and audits from start to finish
• Investment or fund experience is an advantage
• Sage Intacct experience is a bonus
• Confidence with senior stakeholders and a demanding board
• Someone who is self-managing, calm under pressure and happy to roll up their sleeves

What's in it for you

• Full ownership of a year-end cycle in an investment environment
• Exposure to the board and investors
• A relaxed, professional culture with flexibility day to day
• A small team where your work is visible from day one
